As a single platform solution, users can now experience Blu-ray movies with HBR audio output through HDMI. Additional audio cards are no longer needed to achieve studio graded audio playback. This cost effective advancement allows system builders and video enthusiasts to build a consumer-like home theater system for all of their high-definition needs.

"TotalMedia Theatre 3 is the ultimate player for viewing Blu-ray movies on a PC," said George Tang, ArcSoft's Vice President and General Manager of Video and Home Entertainment Group. "Now optimized for the new Intel HD platform, users are able to complete the experience with HBR audio, in a cost-effective way."

"Intel is working with key software developers like ArcSoft to enable a full set of audio and video playback capabilities on the all new 2010 Intel Core Processor Family with Intel HD Graphics," said Josh Newman, Graphics Marketing Director at Intel. "Intel HD Graphics enables a rich media playback experience for Intel Core processor based platforms to deliver stunning Blu-ray playback and professional level sound quality."

From January 7-10, 2010, this special version of TotalMedia Theatre will be showcased at the 2010 International CES tradeshow in Las Vegas. Visit ArcSoft in Meeting Room 35559 / LVCC South Hall 4 to experience it in person.
